Beautiful and evocative. I love the way Ernaux captured the spirit of living in France throughout the years, together with her changing perspective as she aged. I appreciated Svetlana Alexievich's work for the same reason, and I wish there were books like this for every place and every era.

probably liked the first 25 or so pages (1940s) and the last 25 pages (early 2000s) the least but WOWEE that middle!
